Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is an eight day holiday celebrating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the successful Maccabean Revolt over the Seleucids (Syrain-Greeks – 2nd century BCE). The prominent ritual is the lighting of the Menorah each night. It is customary to eat foods fried or baked in oil to commemorate the miracle of the oil – the discovery in the Temple of a small flask of one days worth of pure olive oil that lasted eight days. Potato pancakes (latkes), doughnuts (sufganiyot and bimuelos), and dairy foods are popular at this time.

    Hi, Lisa,

    I shared this week about how to render beef fat, just in time to fry up all those latkes!

    (I don’t know what happened with my photo – weird!)

    Thanks for hosting, and Happy Chanukah!

    There was a lot of latka making in this house tonight – and all very vegetable heavy – sweet potatoes, butternut squash, zucchini, carrot, onions – yum! I’ve got a number of latka suggestions and menu options on my blog this week for Chanuka.
